70 LIGHTHOUSE POINT DRIVE, Longboat Key, FL, 34228

This bespoke crafted casually elegant furnished residence is in the exclusive gated Lighthouse Point waterfront enclave of just 16 custom residences at the southern tip of Longboat Key. Lighthouse Point is a peninsula nestled on a deep-water boat basin at the edge of the Intracoastal Waterway and New Pass. This residence has been completely remodeled within the past couple years, taken down to the studs to create the ideal coastal waterfront estate. Longfield Fitzgerald of Atlanta oversaw the interior design. The improvements included new impact glass windows and doors throughout and a new tile roof. The furnishings are chosen to make the space comfortable for both relaxing seaside living, as well as hosting family and guests. No detail has been overlooked. The first level includes an open floor plan with a living, family and dining room with a separate media room, and the fifth bedroom with double bunk beds for the little ones. Entering this stunning home, you are welcomed into a grand space, and beyond the beautiful kitchen with island seating, that includes the La Cornue French gas range as the focal point. The living and family rooms each have a gas fireplace. The main floor rooms overlook an expansive terrace and large heated pool with sun shelf chaises, back yard with plenty of space for games, private beach, and the Gulf of Mexico. Take the stately staircase or elevator to the second floor where the primary bedroom and three en-suite guest bedrooms are. The primary and two of the guest suites connect to a wide terrace overlooking the Gulf and Longboat Pass. Enjoy the Gulf’s vibrant sunset skies from the primary suite with spacious bedroom living space, meticulously appointed spa-like bath area, three walk-in closets and gas fireplace. There is a three-car side entry garage with room for storage. Down the street at the community dock is a new 16,000lb boat lift. Owners in the Lighthouse Point neighborhood enjoy their own tennis court plus the nearby gulf front beach, easy access to the Resort at the Longboat Key Club and the Links Golf Course and fitness center with famed St. Armand’s Circle shopping and dining district just over a mile away. Sarasota and its famed arts and entertainment is just 5 miles away. .
